X-Play: GTA IV: The Lost and Damned Review

L&D is easily the most well conceived and well-executed piece of downloadable content ever, and it sets a new bar for interactive storytelling that won't soon be matched. (At least until the GTA 4's third episode is released.)

Nice score. Obviously some people are really going to love this. But after GTA4, I somehow am just not really interested in it. GTA4 received some of the highest scores last year, but I didn't like it that much. So I don't really know what to make of the positive scores for this content.

I wish MS would have put all that money towards creating an original IP. Oh well, those of you who this appeals to, enjoy it.

i have a thought..from what i understand this is about dlc, this is not a conversation about who purchased what by either MS or Sony, new IP or not GTAIV L&D set a new standard for on how much content is in any DLC. On any platform should i pay 10$-15$ for just two maps, or should i pay 20$ for the amount L&D gives.

L&D is on the same level as then, full price VICE CITY. IMO this is why this DLC will do well. People buy expansion packs all the time.

It's actually pretty good. Missions are a lot more gung-ho than Niko's, with very very high body counts :) The new weapons are cool. Sawn off shotgun is great when on a bike and the grenade launcher just causes absolute mayhem. And I don't know if they tweaked the online, but it feels different somehow. It's a lot less laggy and seems more hectic. Some cool new online modes too. Well worth the money so far anyway. Absolutely no need for the penis though, don't know why they felt the need to put that in.
